I don't know what the world is going to be like in a year or so. Political developments has me very anxious about the future and makes me wonder if it's even worth planning for it because there's so much potential for unfavorable changes in daily life. There's things that I kinda want to do and I want the world as I currently know it to be there for it. This shit is so worrying man. I'm just starting to be grateful that most of our news occurs between Mon-Fri, during office hours.
Despite saying that I'll abstain from drinking and weed, Mardi Gras happened and I broke both rules. I'll just do it for Lent even though I'm not Catholic. I had fun with a couple of friends and managed to get through a few of the not so great social moments where a friend of my friend got weirdly obsessed with race and got increasingly annoying throughout the day. The people watching was amazing though. As you can expect, there was a bunch of drunk people roaming the streets during the day, a lot of people being consoled by their friends as they vomit on the side of the road and told not to call or text their ex's. There were a few baby strollers there unfortunately. This is probably the first and last time I'll probably participate in the festivities, it's just not really my thing. Too many people. I crashed on my couch afterwards and didn't wake up until 8:30p. I'm back at that point in my life where I need to get it together. The apartment is a real mess and I'm supposed to be moving by the end of the month.
